Humm... this seems to be based on Fedora Core 3. They tout that they aren't Re-inventing the wheel: "We have no intention of creating and supporting our own software repository".
Are they aware that Fedora Core 3 is no longer supported at all by the Fedora project?

And since "Linux XP 2007" (to be based on FC6) is not yet exist you can conclude that you'll get more-or-less adequate support for whopping 6 month (or may be less). Why more-or-less adequate ? It's easy: here you can find that intervals between updates will be few weeks - and if you need something more up-to-date you can use Gentoo. Sensible advice - but why Gentoo ? Most distributions out there offer more timely security updates and you are not forced to $20 to get them. Basically they know foist off this garbage (it's indeed has more racket in press then any sensible Russian distributions) but it does not make it any less garbage...
